CASH-CARRIER APPARATUS.-

SPECIFICATION forming part of {letters Patent No. 381,052, dated AprillO, 1888. I

I Application filed July 11, 1867. Serial N0.-243,980. (No model.)

I To all whom it may cancer-rt:

Be itknown that I, JOHN FRANCIS BURDEIT, a citizen of the United States, residingat Lowell,

in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Cash-Carrier Apparatus,

of'which the following is a specification, refer-.

cash-carriers in which a'car runs on a wire track; and the invention consists'in the peculiar combinations, constructiomand arrangement of parts, hereinafter more particularly described, and then definitely pointed out in the claims.

Referring now to thedetails of construcu tion, A represents a hanger or standard, in

which is screwed the tube B, which receives the spiral spring 0. This tube is slotted at b and is provided with the wire guides D and spring-latches E which project over the inclined slots 1). In the slot!) travels the upper 1 catch, F, (see Fig. 4,) which has projecting pinsf,that slide under the edges of the slotted part of the tube. Attached to the catch in any convenient manner is the cord G, which passes over the grooved pulley H, as shown.

'In front of the spring is a head, I, (see Fig.

6,) provided with an opening, i, to receive a buffer, J. Pivoted to a lug, K, projecting from the head I, is second or lower catch, L,

which is held in an operative position by the.

spring Z. At M is shown a cord,which is connected to the catch F in any convenient manner and passes through an eye, N, (attached to the tube,) anddownward below the same to aweight, O. Preferably, two cords are employed, as shown in Fig. 4, both of which are united to the weight At P is shown the wire track on which thecarrier or carriage Q runs,

which carrier is provided with theprojection vB and notch S at both ends, as shown.

Instead of the spiral spring an elliptical spring may be used, asshown in dotted-lines, or I may use both.

Iinay sometimes use both catches together,

as'shown, or I may dispense withone of them,

according to circumstances. I

The operation is asfollows': When the can rier is run up againstithe buffer, it slightly pushesback the head I and runsbetwee'n the upper and lower catches (or under the upperone, ifthe lower one be removed) and isthere a f 6 by the cord Ggit will draw the carrier back with it until the pinsfrise'upthrough the caught. If, now, the catch F be pulledback slots b and pass under the spring-latches E,

which raises the catch and thus l iberates the i head,'which is pow driven out by the, pressure of the spring at a great speed and ini'pels'the oar at'a corresponding speed. As the lower 7 catch is inclined and thenotch S has alsoan inclined side, said catch will not hold the car when it is driven out by the springs, as the tion, but without limiting myself to the exact,

construction shown, I claim as new 1. The combination, in a cash-carrier apparatus, of a carrier, a track for the same,.a spring'for impelling the carrier, a stationary tubeinclosingsaid spring, andacatch adapted q to move on said tube for holding the carrier V .7 impetus derived from'the spring will cause it 1 and constructed to move in one'direction in:

dependent of the spring, substantially as dea scribed. i

2.'The combination, in a cash-carrier ape paratus, of acarrier, a track for the same, a"

ing a guide for spring and catch, and a'sup plemental catch carried by said spring, substantially as described.

. spiral spring for impelling the carrier, a catch v. to hold said carrier,and astationary tube form;

The combination, in'a cash-carrier ape paratus, of a carrier, a track for the same, a

spring for impelling the carrier, 'acatch to catch passedthrough the eyes N on the forward end of the tube, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in presence of two witnesses this 28th day of June, I 5 1887.

JOHN FRANCIS BURDETT'. Witnesses:
